“The only reason we don’t expect to be as long is, this season, if you look at it, it’s almost a two-hour ramp up before our kids really get drawn into a supernatural mystery. The episodes will probably be shorter than season 4’s super-sized ones-except for the finale. The Stranger Things writers hinted that there’ll be eight episodes when they tweeted a photo of a whiteboard separated into eight columns, each numbered from episode 1-8. He’s rebuilding, and he’s out for blood.” He could stronger than ever in season 5. Jamie Campbell Bower told NME, “I don’t think he’s slunk off licking his wounds in misery. And I’ve always been wondering, why was Will the first victim and the first one captured?”įinally, Vecna isn’t necessarily gone for good. Obviously, we hope for a coming out scene, and I also want to see them address this connection to the Mind Flayer and how that fits into the world. As actor Noah Schnapp confirmed to Variety, “it’s 100% clear that he is gay and he does love Mike,” later adding, “There’s so many different things they have to address. Oh, and we can expect Will Byers to finally come out of the closet. ” And the Duffers kept their word: Season 4 ends with a cliffhanger, as the Hawkins crew prepares for one last battle with the Upside Down. There won't be a reset from where we finish this season. Matt Duffer told Empire, “Usually at the end of a season, we tie things up with a nice bow, before a little tease that says, ‘Hold on, something is unraveling.’ As we move into season 5, we won’t have to do that. The showrunning duo also confirmed there would be no “reset” going into season 5. As always, we are gracious for your patience and your support.” In the Duffer Brothers’ February letter to fans, they added, “There are still many more exciting stories to tell within the world of Stranger Things new mysteries, new adventures, new unexpected heroes.” Might that mean a spin-off in the future? “But first we hope that you stay with us as we finish this tale of a powerful girl named Eleven and her brave friends, of a broken police chief and a ferocious mom, of a small town called Hawkins and an alternate dimension called the Upside Down.

It has become less common for writers to be on set during production, though this was once the norm. We hope a fair deal is reached soon so we can all get back to work. “While we’re excited to start production with our amazing cast and crew, it is not possible during this strike. Writing does not stop when filming begins,” they explained. The Duffer brothers announced via the show’s official Twitter account that they would be halting production in support of the WGA and the writers on the picket line, further delaying the release of season 5.

It’s too early to say, but we can look to past seasons for reference. Netflix When will Stranger Things 5 be released?
